The G button??? Is that related to the G Spot in any way?

Don't own one yet but gonna try one out in the next 10 days to see if it's a big deal and worth buying the newer model .

No, The 'G' spot is a myth.

So, if the G button is less mythical, what does it do?

Quote from Honda:

Pushing the G switch in any riding mode improves traction and machine control by reducing the amount of clutch slip during gear changes.

That doesn't sound very exciting....certainly not as exciting as the mythical G Spot!

I have a 2018 X ADV with those bits and bobs. I haven't taken it off road so I haven't used the G spot button..... :D . On a personal level I think the bike is fantastic. So easy to ride, comfy with good handling and a supple ride. It's so relaxing to ride that I actually find myself taking my time when out and about.
However, at the end of the day everyone is different - whether that's physical (size etc), to just plain different likes and dislikes. So the answer is to take a long test ride.... :D

Wozza, we'll have to have a 'maxi muppets mini meet' sometime soon to compare notes etc.
Can't wait to see the x-adv (and the G spot button!)
